TDK Creates 250 GB Laptop Hard Drive

TDK has been able to produce a hard drive head that can write between 150 and 200 gigabits of data per inch. A report also states that TDK will be able to fulfill its promise of mass producing this new technology by 2007 – aiming for small form factor machine drives and DVD recorders. This new technology would be able to write 250 GB of data on a single 3.5” hard drive platter. What you will do with so much space boggles the mind; however, with the HD era approaching fast, these big hard drives really don’t seem so ridiculous.
